If you do

  for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do sleep 100; done

and then hit ^Z, only the sleep gets backgrounded, not the for loop.
Repeat the ^Z's and you end up with 10 seperate background processes.
This is presumably because the for loop is not a seperate process,
still, after a user on my system managed to create 13 simultaneous big
processes this way, I am wondering if other shells with job control
work the same way.
